First lady Jill Biden said in an interview on Monday that she is “working to hold the American people accountable” for what her husband, President Joe Biden, has accomplished for the American people. trend.
The magazine’s August issue features Jill Biden on the cover and a lengthy profile of the first lady, who has been in the spotlight recently as critics see her as the driving force behind her husband’s refusal to withdraw from the presidential race despite widespread panic among Democrats, particularly after Thursday’s debate.

“Every campaign is unique. But the urgency of this one is different. We know what’s at stake, and Joe is asking the American people to come together to draw a line under all this evil,” Jill Biden said. trend continuation:
Jill Biden believes we can step back from this brink and see beyond our differences, as she has always tried to do, both in the classroom and on her final campaign stint on her husband’s behalf. “We don’t need more confusion,” she continues. It’s the American story she refuses to tell. “Fundamentally, Americans care about each other. And this anger and hostility and division is not who we are. We are good people.”
There was no mention of the divisiveness her husband has perpetuated throughout his presidency, from demonizing people who refuse to follow COVID-19 orders to insulting millions of voters across the country with dark anti-MAGA speeches.
Author Maya Singer recounted how she asked Jill Biden, “I ask the First Lady: What would you say to those who, in response to your appeal that ‘we must defend our democracy,’ ask: ‘So what has democracy done for me these days?'”
“This was the first and last time she would have an angry outburst,” Singer wrote. Jill Biden reportedly said she was “going public” to let the public know all that her husband has done for the American people.
“If people knew what Joe did. With the Recovery Act, with infrastructure, with CHIPS,” she began, listing some of the president’s accomplishments in his first term: the American Rescue Plan of 2021, the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed that same year, and the CHIPS and Science Act, signed in 2022 to boost domestic manufacturing of semiconductors. “If people knew all that. I mean, they don’t know who’s doing the bridge being built in their city. They don’t know who’s doing the lead removal from their water. They don’t know who’s stopping the pipeline that goes through their park. They don’t know.” She seems perplexed by this. But then where are people getting their news now? TikTok? Someone’s podcast?
“That’s why I’m standing up in public,” Jill Biden continued, “that’s why we all strive: to say, ‘Here’s what we’ve accomplished, and how does this impact your life?'”
See — what was that?! After a week of rest and preparation, Biden made it through the debate coughing, stumbling and rambling:
